Minister's Daughter
Posted by: bigguyhereagain <bigguyhereagain@...>
The minister's little six-year-old girl had been so naughty during the week,
that her mother decided to give her the worst kind of punishment. She told
her she couldn't go to the Sunday School Picnic on Saturday.
When the day came, her mother felt she had been too harsh and changed her
mind. When she told the little girl she could go to the picnic, the child's
reaction was one of gloom and unhappiness.
"What's the matter? I thought you'd be glad to go to the picnic." her
mother said.
"It's too late!" the little girl said. "I've already prayed for rain!"

*** Emergency Test ***
A troop of Boy Scouts was being used
as "victims" in a test of emergency
systems. A mock earthquake was staged,
and the Scouts impersonated wounded
persons who were to be picked up and
cared for by the emergency units. One
scout was supposed to lie on the ground
and await his rescuers, but the first-aid
people got behind schedule,
and the scout lay "wounded" for several hours.
When the first-aid squad arrived
where the casualty was supposed to be, they
found nothing but this brief note:
"Have bled to death and gone home."
